The Vioxx body count

By Rick Holmes

Back in 2004, when Merck took Vioxx off the market, I remember reading that investigators believed the drug may have been responsible for as many as 50,000 deaths from heart attacks and strokes. 50,000!

This is the right website for anybody who really wants to understand

Great stuff, just excellent!
